Born in Poland, Krystyna Skarbek was the first woman to serve Britain as a special agent during the Second World War, as well as the country’s longest-serving agent one of the most effective. Hailed as Winston Churchill’s favourite spy and deemed Britain’s most glamorous, this courageous bonafide hero was also the inspiration behind the original James Bond girl, Vesper Lynd, in Ian Fleming’s first novel, Casino Royale.
